Hi,

I'm experiencing some problems playing the sound over a single channel.
I have a mono (1 channel wavesound) which I want to play over a single speaker.

I use WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE with a mono wav source, but still hear the sound over all speakers.

Do I have to change this sound to a 6 channel sound to be able to use the channelmask?? (I guess I do) And if so, is there an exampla available how to change a mono sound into a 6 channel(5.1) sound (probably multiplexing the soundsamples?)
Or is is possible to use a mono buffer over a single speaker without changing the ??


thnx in advance Pjotr
